Chapter 359: Return to Soto City

Compared with the main entrance, the entrance passage of the staff of the auction hall is a lot colder, there are no exquisite carvings or decorations, but the walls are really whitewashed, and the ground does not even have a complete floor tile, which is all leftovers.

This is actually normal, after all, it is the staff in and out, not for the guests, just keep it neat and clean, and save if you can.

The guards took Qian Fei'er and the others, left and right, and soon came to an elegant room.

When they reached the door, the guard stopped and knocked on the door three times.

A man's voice came from inside the room.

"Please come in."

Hearing this voice, Qian Linjue and Qian Nawei both felt a little familiar, and the two glanced at each other in surprise, and they both had some guesses in their hearts.

By this time, the guard had already opened the door, bowed down, and reached out to guide the interior of the room.

"Master Qianfei'er, this is Manager Hou's office, please come in."

"Thank you, hard work." Qian Fei'er chuckled and nodded, and her slender jade fingers wiped the soul guide on her wrist, and there was an extra gold coin in her hand.

She placed the gold in the guard's hand.

"Thank you, Lord Qianfei'er!" The guard was flattered to take it, and after thanking him again and again, he bowed and retreated.

After the guards retreated, Qian Fei'er took Qian Linjue and the others into the room.

This is a large office, more than 50 square meters, which is already larger than the living room of some middle-income families.

On the back wall of the office is a long mahogany table with books and papers, as well as some notebooks, which look like the materials of the auction house.

To the left of the desk, against the left wall, there is a low mahogany coffee table, on which is placed a set of exquisite ceramic tea sets, the coffee table is surrounded by black leather sofas, and the edges are inlaid with some white gold decorations, luxurious and noble.

At this moment, there was no figure on the coffee table, only a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk.

This man has short hair on his head, his face is very cleanly shaved, there is no slag at all, and his face is very clean, without a trace of oil dirt unique to middle-aged men, and his appearance looks very refreshing.

Qian Linjue and Qian Nawei have both seen this person, and they know him, and his name is Hou Dezhu.

Behind the desk, Hou Dezhu's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw Qian Fei'er, who was the leader.

A long time ago, Qian Fei'er took four Titled Douluo guards to humiliate him in Shrek Academy, and he still remembers it vividly.

Because of that incident, he assigned his tattooed man's men to dirty and tiring work, and thought of putting on his own shoes, and finally he needed to find someone to make a scapegoat, so that he would die on the spot.

He immediately got up and bowed respectfully to Qian Fei'er.

"Villain Hou Dezhu, see Miss Qian."

While speaking, Hou Dezhu carefully observed Qian Fei'er's surroundings from the corner of his eye, and when he saw Cloud Armor Douluo, his gaze moved back without a trace.

In front of Hou Dezhu, Qian Fei'er waved her hand casually.

"No courtesy."

"Miss Xie Qian." Hou Dezhu responded respectfully, then walked out of the desk, came to the front of Qian Fei'er, and reached out to guide the sofa around the coffee table.

While guiding, he had a gentle smile on his face like a spring breeze.

"Miss Qian, please."

He actually didn't know Qian Fei'er's surname, it was all guessed, and the reason for the guess was Qian Linjue and Qian Nawei.

Hou Dezhu used to know Qian Linjue's name in the Star Dou Great Forest, and after being humiliated at Shrek Academy last time, he went to investigate Qian Nawei again.

Knowing that these two people are both surnamed Qian and are often together, he guessed that the two must be related.

Then Qian Fei'er was very protective of Qian Linjue last time, and now that they are together, Hou Dezhu guessed at once that Qian Fei'er may also be surnamed Qian, and from the order of entering the door, the status is even higher!

At the same time, Hou Dezhu had another guess in his heart.

Last time, Manager Liu sent a letter saying that a girl named Qian Fei'er had taken over the head of the pai, I don't know, could it be these people......

Hou Dezhu pondered while carefully observing Qian Fei'er and Qian Liuli and others.

In front of the coffee table, Qian Fei'er had already sat on the sofa directly opposite the wall, and Qian Linjue and Qian Liuli sat on both sides, like two left and right protectors, protecting her in the middle.

On the other two sofas next to the coffee table, Qian Yueqi with a frosty face and Qian Xinyu with a red ribbon in her hair sat together, Qian Nawei and Qian Yuqiong sat on one side, and Cloud Armor Douluo stood aside with his hands behind his back.

Seeing everyone seated, Hou Dezhu sat down on the sofa against the wall and began to make tea.

On the coffee table, there is a complete set of tea sets, including a thermal kettle, a teapot, an upside-down teacup, and a beautiful tea caddy.

The teacup is not large, a little more than an inch in diameter, and the top is large and the bottom is slightly smaller.

The tea canister is made of iron, and the surface is painted with a beautiful picture of tea picking, and it can be seen from the appearance that the tea inside is expensive.

Hou Dezhu first used tweezers to straighten the teacup from the inverted buckle, then put down the tweezers, opened the kettle, and rinsed it with hot water.

After rinsing, he opened the iron tea can, used the wooden chopsticks in the tea can, took out an appropriate amount of tea leaves, and put it in the teapot. 020

Covering and placing the tea canist, he opened the kettle again and poured hot water into the kettle.

The hot water brews the tea leaves, and the faint fragrance of tea wafts out.

Hou Dezhu closed the lid of the teapot, held the handle of the teapot with one hand, and gently pressed the handle on the top of the teapot lid with the other, poured out the hot water from the teapot, and poured it into a bucket with a lid next to the coffee table.

After pouring, he opened the lid of the teapot again, lifted the kettle, and poured hot water into the teapot with the tea leaves.

This time, the aroma of tea is more intense and refreshing.

Hou Dezhu put all the teacups in one place with tweezers, and then carried the teapot and poured eight points full of tea into each teacup.

After injecting, he held the middle of the teacup with the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, and held the bottom of the teacup with his left hand, and handed it to Qian Fei'er with a smile with both hands.

"Miss Qian, please."

Qian Fei'er raised her right index finger and middle finger together and clicked twice on the table.

It stands to reason that Qian Fei'er is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Hou Dezhu is thirty or forty years old at a glance, and the age gap between the two is huge.

And her current behavior is not at all like the respect of the younger generation for the elders, it is very rude.

However, Hou Dezhu was not angry, still maintaining a gentle and somewhat enthusiastic smile on his face, and put the teacup in front of Qian Fei'er.

"Miss Qian, please use it slowly."

Qian Fei'er chuckled, stretched out her right hand, raised her index finger and middle finger together, plus her thumb, and her three fingers cooperated, pinched the middle of the earless teacup, and picked it up.

She put the teacup to her mouth, blew it, and took a sip.

Tea in the stomach.

The tea brewed by Hou Dezhu is black tea, with a slight bitter taste at first, but after the bitterness, it is mellow tea aroma, with a soft taste, which is very good.

"Good tea." Qian Fei'er praised it.

When she was tasting tea, Hou Dezhu had already served tea to Qian Linjue, Qian Liuli and others.

He looked at Qian Fei'er and responded with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Qian, for the compliment." ”

Waiting until Qian Fei'er had tasted the tea and put down the teacup, Hou Dezhu looked at Qian Fei'er with a smile and asked again.

"Excuse me, what is the important reason for Miss Qian's visit to the auction hall this time? Our auction house recently had a new leader, also surnamed Qian, can Miss Qian know? ”

In fact, Hou Dezhu had already guessed that the proud girl in front of him was the new leader of the auction house, but for the sake of insurance, he still needed to confirm again.

On the other side, Qian Fei'er heard Hou Dezhu's question, and her heart suddenly understood.

It turns out that this person doesn't know me, since that's the case......

She thought for a moment, chuckled and asked, "What does Manager Hou say about that Miss Qian?" What do you think? ”

"Opinion?" Hou Dezhu touched his chin with his index finger and groaned slightly.

It seems that she is thinking about me, and if I don't answer well, plus what happened to Shrek Academy last time, I might be in danger, if so......

Hou Dezhu pondered for a moment, and a gentle smile once again appeared on his face.

"It is rumored that the newly promoted leader of our auction hall is extremely talented, beautiful, with a smile and a smile that captivates the country and the city, the country is beautiful and beautiful, and he is young and has a bright future in the future, and he will definitely be a new star in the Douluo Continent."

Hou Dezhu used all the praise words he could think of in his heart, and this sycophant was very particular, using these two words that are rumored.

If Qian Fei'er likes to listen to people's praise, then this sycophant is undoubtedly a success, and if Qian Fei'er dislikes flattering people, she can also push it on others and say that it is transmitted, after all, the word "rumored" is used, who passed it on, who knows?

On the sofa, when Qian Fei'er heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Hehe, Manager Hou is really smart, and others are embarrassed to listen."

Hou Dezhu's face suddenly became happy, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be you?" ”

Qian Fei'er took out a folding fan from her soul guide bracelet, opened it with a "bang", fanned it gently, opened her eyes a little, and looked at Hou Dezhu.

"Under my full name, Qianfei'er."

"Villain, see Chief!" Hou Dezhu hurriedly got up, bowed at Qian Fei'er at 90 degrees, and was respectful.

Qian Fei'er waved her hand casually, "No courtesy." ”

"Thank you, Chief!" Hou Dezhu said respectfully and sat back on the sofa against the wall.

He looked at Qian Fei'er with joy on his face and continued to speak.

"The arrival of a thousand leaders in Soto City has made the Soto auction house shine, but it is just ......"

Speaking of this, Hou Dezhu's tone was a little puzzled, "Thousands of leaders come to the Soto auction house, what is the matter?" If it's not very serious, just tell the villain to handle it. ”

When asking, Hou Dezhu's palms were a little sweaty.

In Hou Dezhu's view, unless it is related to the safety of the auction house, there is only one important thing left that can alarm the chief leader to come to the door in person, and that important matter is related to his life and death.
